Ebay black mesh grille

Has anyone on here purchesed this grille off of ebay? If so could you post pictures and what you think of the grille. Also any input from any of you out there an what you think about it, like it, hate it. Im thinking of buying one but still unsure. I have a 2004 black FX4 supercrew.

I think it would look good and will last a lot better than painting your stock one.

Tried to paint my Lariat grill black and it chips so bad from road salt/gavel I had to go with a different style.

Ive thought about painting mine too, but i figured it would chip and look like hell, im also getting sick of the billet inserts that I have now. Time for a change all together i think. Ill post pictures when I get it installed.

the grille is solid as quality goes. I was suprised due to the price of it, it was not too expensive. Ill try to get better pictures, it really does look better in person. Thanks for the complements guys
